Pigmented Lesions
Pigmented lesions come in many forms and differ from vascular lesions such as Port Wine birthmarks and Rosacea. Some of the most common types are listed below.
Keratoses
Slightly elevated pigmented spots found on the back and hands.
Dermatosis Papalosis Nigra (DPN)
Small, black macules seen primarily on Asian and African nationalities.
Lentigines
Small, tan to brown macules that can arise on the skin surface or mucous membrane. Usually present on skin that has received excessive sun exposure.
Café-au-lait
Light brown, flat macules that are often first apparent at birth (1 cm - 20 cm diameter).
Some of these conditions are easy to treat whereas others require more long-term treatment. It is essential to have any kind of skin lesion examined before considering treatment of any kind.
